Mumbai, July 7: A same-sex relationship ended tragically after a youth killed his partner in Mumbai. The development comes after the Mumbai police recently arrested a 19-year-old youth for allegedly killing his same-sex partner in the city. The accused was arrested after the victim's father lodged a complaint against him. The complainant claimed that his 16-year-old son died of poisoning after the accused gave him a spiked cold drink.

Acting on the complaint, the police arrested the youth and are investigating the reason behind the "cold drink" murder. According to the complainant, the victim left home on June 29 for a walk but did not return home that night, reports NDTV. This triggered a search for him.
